Streamer recommendations


I am thinking of purchasing a dcs bartok dac/headphone amp unit.  Hoe does the streaming application compare to say an aurender or lumin?  Cd/sacd will be my primary source, with streaming secondary

 

thanks

Good day,

I purchased a WIIM pro recently, I think it is an excellent budget streamer. I have a Topping D70 Octo dac paired with a Shiit Midgard. I get resolution from Roon up to 196 gb. All in under $800. It’s pretty good for the coins.

My first streamer was an Aurender N100H - a very YUGE upgrade from PC-based source.

Then I tried a different brand.

Now, like the prodigal son, I've returned to Aurender - the N20 w/SSD (4TB) is absolutely "real and spectacular"! (h/t Teri Hatch)

The MU1 excellent. I compared it to the Innuos statement at the time of purchase.  The MU2 has a DAC as well.
